This represents a real cost saving for prosumers who plan to expand their installations in stages - it eliminates the need to purchase batteries or replace equipment in advance. - **Automatic transfer time for a UPS class \<10 ms** - Automatic switching to battery power within 10 ms meets the definition of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) according to IEC 62040, which protects sensitive devices (computers, NAS, heat pumps) from brief power outages. Standard off-grid inverters typically switch within 20-100 ms. - **Dual MPPT with 16A current and 150% DC oversizing** - Two independent MPPT controllers can handle up to 16A of input current each, allowing for the connection of 430+ Wp modules and DC oversizing up to 150% of AC power. This is a significant advantage for installations in areas with varying orientations or partial shading. - **10-year warranty provided by the PLUS+ network** - A free extension of the warranty from 5 to 10 years is available when the system is installed by a certified installer of the GoodWe PLUS+ program. Most competitors in this price segment (e.g., Sofar, Deye) typically offer a standard 5-year warranty, with an additional 10-year warranty available for a fee. - **A well-established Tier-1 company with a strong presence in Poland** - GoodWe is listed on Bloomberg NEF's Tier-1 bankable list, and according to a 2022 study, it was the third most popular inverter in Poland. This translates to the availability of certified technicians and spare parts - which is crucial for a 10-year operating cycle. ### Cons - **Power range: only 3.6-6 kW** - The series is limited to power outputs up to 6 kW in a single-phase configuration, which excludes its use in installations exceeding this limit. Customers requiring power above 6 kW must opt for the three-phase ET PLUS+ series, which restricts the flexibility of selecting products within a single product line. - **SEMS Portal - reported issues with locating PL** - Users on industry forums (elektroda.pl, 2024-2025) report outdated Polish translations of the SEMS application, occasional loss of settings after updates, and time synchronization errors. This is not a hardware issue, but it can reduce the comfort of daily monitoring. ## About this series The GoodWe EH PLUS+ series are **single-phase hybrid string inverters** designed for domestic PV installations, intended to operate both with the grid and with an energy storage system. The **Battery Ready** concept distinguishes them - you can start with classic grid-connected operation, adding a storage unit later by activating the storage function via a code. This practical solution is ideal for individuals planning to modernize their installations in Poland. Two independent tracking strings for the maximum power point, i.e., **2 MPPT**, facilitate optimization yields for panels at different roof orientations and partial shading, translating into genuinely more stable production throughout the day. The high European efficiency means the inverter is effective under typical working conditions in our climate, not just in a laboratory setting. A notable advantage is the **switching to emergency power supply of UPS class** along with intelligent load control and peak shaving functions. Monitoring is done through the SEMS platform - with an app and remote diagnostics - and for communication, you can use, among other things, WiFi or Ethernet. The EH PLUS+ works with high-voltage lithium-ion batteries, such as the Lynx Home F PLUS+ series, and its IP65-rated enclosure with built-in DC surge protection enhances installation safety. ## Questions ### How does the "Battery Ready" function work in the GoodWe EH PLUS+ and is it possible to add a battery after several years? Yes, this is the main advantage of the EH PLUS+ series. You purchase and install the inverter as a device operating in on-grid mode, without batteries. If you decide to use energy storage, you simply need to purchase an activation code, which will unlock the hybrid function. You don't need to replace the inverter or modify the installation. This is a convenient solution for those who want to spread their investment over time. ### What is the warranty period for the GoodWe EH PLUS+ inverter? The standard manufacturer's warranty for the EH PLUS+ series is 5 years. However, GoodWe launched a promotion within the PLUS+ program, which extends the warranty to 10 years, provided that the inverter is paired with a compatible Lynx F PLUS+ energy storage system and installed by an authorized installer. This promotion was continued by the manufacturer in 2026, so it is worth checking the current terms with a distributor. ### What batteries are compatible with the GoodWe EH PLUS+ and what capacity can be connected? The EH PLUS+ inverter supports high-voltage lithium-ion batteries in the range of 85-460 V. A dedicated partner is the GoodWe Lynx Home F PLUS+ series, based on LFP (lithium-iron-phosphate) batteries, available in configurations from 6.6 kWh to 16.4 kWh. These batteries meet the VDE 2510-50 safety standard, and the modules can be stacked, which simplifies installation and system expansion. ### How quickly does the GoodWe EH PLUS+ switch to backup power during a power outage? The switchover time to backup power is less than 10 milliseconds, which corresponds to the UPS class. In practice, this means that sensitive home equipment, such as routers, computers, and refrigerators, will not experience any interruption in power. This is a significant advantage over cheaper inverters, which require several seconds to switch over and may cause devices to restart. ### What is peak shaving in the GoodWe EH PLUS+ and does it actually reduce electricity bills? Peak shaving is a function that limits the amount of power drawn from the grid. The inverter detects moments when energy consumption in the home increases sharply, and it compensates for the shortage by drawing power from the battery, rather than drawing more expensive peak power from the utility company. This can significantly reduce energy bills, especially in tariffs with a power component or in households with high peak energy consumption (e.g., heat pumps, electric vehicle chargers). ### What power range does the GoodWe EH PLUS+ series cover, and is a 6 kW output sufficient for a typical single-family home? The EH PLUS+ series offers models with power outputs of 3.6 kW, 5 kW, and 6 kW, which are typical for prosumer installations. The 6 kW inverter, with two independent MPPT tracks and a 16 A DC input per string, is designed to handle modern high-power panels and can tolerate DC overloads up to 150%. For a home with an annual energy consumption of 4000-6000 kWh, a 5-6 kW version, combined with a battery storage system, is more than sufficient for significant self-consumption. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/inverters/23327849365d8bbb85dc1e-a58c3ee20107.pdf) ## Alternatives | Inverter | Rated AC | Euro efficiency | MPPT | Weight | Difference | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Growatt SPM 3600TL-HU](https://comparepv.com/inverter/growatt-spm-3600tl-hu) | 3.6 kW | 97.6% | 2 | 26.0 kg | +0.6 pp efficiency, 9.0 kg heavier | | [Growatt MIN 3600TL-XH](https://comparepv.com/inverter/growatt-min-3600tl-xh) | 3.6 kW | 97.2% | 2 | 10.8 kg | 6.2 kg lighter | | [Growatt MIN 3600TL-XA](https://comparepv.com/inverter/growatt-min-3600tl-xa) | 3.6 kW | 97.2% | | 10.8 kg | 6.2 kg lighter | | [Growatt MIN 3600TL-XH2](https://comparepv.com/inverter/growatt-min-3600tl-xh2) | 3.6 kW | 97.2% | 2 | 10.8 kg | 6.2 kg lighter | | [Deye SUN-3.6K-SG04LP1-EU](https://comparepv.com/inverter/deye-sun-3-6k-sg04lp1-eu) | 3.6 kW | 97.0% | 2 | 14.0 kg | 3.0 kg lighter | | [Deye SUN-3.6K-SG04LP1-AU](https://comparepv.com/inverter/deye-sun-3-6k-sg04lp1-au) | 3.6 kW | 97.0% | 2 | | Similar on paper | | [Ginlong Solis RHI-3.6K-48ES-5G](https://comparepv.com/inverter/ginlong-solis-rhi-3-6k-48es-5g) | 3.6 kW | 96.8% | 2 | 17.0 kg | Similar on paper | | [SMA Solar SBSE3.6-50](https://comparepv.com/inverter/sma-solar-sbse3-6-50) | 3.6 kW | 96.6% | 3 | 17.5 kg | -0.4 pp efficiency, +1 MPPT | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/inverter/goodwe-gw3600n-eh
